How long is the maximum period between ablution and the two rak'ahs of ablution, and is it permissible to perform them after being busy for an hour?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Sunnah of ablution (wudu’) is missed by turning away from it, or by becoming preoccupied with something else, or by a ritual impurity (hadath), or by a lengthy customary separation between it and the wudu’, as no specific time limit has been set for this separation. If it is missed, it is not to be made up.
